As others have said. It's a guessing game

I was very happy to receive this device in the mail and tested it straight away. The first thing I noticed was that there was no adapter included. The adapter I'm talking about is the one you can use to test lightbulb sockets. Using this device is pretty self-explanatory. Insert the battery that came with the main unit, plug the other detachable mini unit into an outlet and test out some of the switches. Well here the device looked like the Ghost Wand from the Ghostbusters as it was triggered…

Pros
  • Magnetic backing attaches to panels for hands free control
Cons
  • Doubt

Good tool for the price - you just have to know how to use it

This tool really works. Initially, I had the same problem as many other reviewers: all the switches in my box seemed to have a signal and I couldn't find the right switch.

Pros
  • Beep and bright LED display
Cons
  • Not sure

Here are a few things: - A jack to jack adapter is required to get alligator clips to connect in the boxes. This set of two adapters is bulky, clunky and clunky. A separate adapter would be much better. Worse, the included alligator clips were too tight to…

Pros
  • The transmitter can be used as a 3-wire network analyzer with GFCI test capability
Cons
  • Brief instructions
